Leap Year (aka Sadie Hawkins Day) The tradition actually started with St. Patrick and St. Bridget (5th Century) in Ireland. St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick that the sisters in her nunnery were in despair because the prevailing tradition at the time — that women had to wait for a proposal of marriage from a man. St. Patrick agreed to allow women to propose to men every four years, during Leap Year. Afterwards, Bridget proposed to Patrick only to be turned down!?)

Even if a third of the Democrats cast their votes evenly among his opponents, Bell will receive 130,000 votes and his opponents approximately 88,000 each.

   
Jim’s the

Looking back — 98 years ago: February 26, 1906  Stage Upsets, People Spill
The narrowest escape from serious accident to be recorded in this locality for years was at the corner of Fifth Street and University Avenue this morning when the Escondido stage overturned at the top of a steep grade. The twelve passengers in the coach were hurled down the side of the canyon into the underbrush, but other than a few bruises and scratches, none of them was hurt. The driver jumped from the overturning vehicle, but was able to secure control of the horses. The United States mail bag and some freight were found halfway down the side of the canyon.  The grade is one of the steepest in the county, although it is rare that accidents happen there. It leads into the San Diego River Valley, leaving the city highway at the St. Joseph’s sanitarium.

Is the rain over?
Hillcrest has received about two inches of the needed wet stuff.

And it’s a beautifully sunny afternoon!

from the late night circuit...

The White House finally found one guy who says he remembers serving with President Bush on National Guard duty in Alabama.
Isn’t that amazing? Now if they can find someone who remember Bush working on an economic plan!

President Bush had a great time at the Daytona 500. He told reporters, “I like speed.” And today he got a call from Rush Limbaugh:
“Hey, I like speed too! Can you get me some? Without a prescription?”

John Kerry won the primaries in Nevada and Washington, DC. That’s great.
One is a haven for hookers, gamblers and general lowlifes, and the other is the home of Las Vegas!

It’s a great night and I’ll tell you why.
The entire balcony here in the Ed Sullivan theater is full of guys who swear they were in the National Guard with George Bush.
